Hi all,
This patch series included three patches:
1. The first patch adds a link to the `git-credential-yahoo` helper for Yahoo accounts and links Google's `sendgmail` tool as an alternative method for sending emails through Gmail.
2. The second patch improves the formatting of the `git-send-email` documentation, making it more readable and consistent.
3. The third patch removed the email credential helper links from the `gitcredentials` page. The links are still available in the `git-send-email` documentation, which is the right place for them.
Detailed explanation of the changes has been done in individual patch.
v2: Removed instructions for Yahoo SMTP server since I've realised that
Yahoo *was* a popular email service. Also, the instructions were
just making the docs more crowded. I've also added a link to
Google's `sendgmail` tool in the first patch. The second patch has been
added to address the issues that came up here:
